Possibly one of the most mainstream requests imaginable, but not part of my normal rounds:
Meeting an out-of-town friend-of-a-friend and looking for someplace walkable within the north-south parameters of Oriental Theater, and Dearborn/Kinzie.
Needn't be glam, but interesting in some way would be a plus as she's just in town for the week and it would be nice to show her something fun.
Probably light food is desirable, as she's coming off a performance.
And, I have no idea what she likes, though speaking for myself and scores of others, actors aren't usually too picky.
Should be quiet enough to converse.
I guess I'm thinking something a bit livelier than 3rd Coast, but not all the way to super-modern hotel bar with interplanetary cocktail program.
Any suggestions welcome.
